Wallpaper - Early October

Our Early October wallpaper brings the rich, shifting palette of early autumn into an expressive abstract landscape. Created by artist Silvia Vassileva, the design pairs energetic, oil-paint-style brushwork with an open horizon. Dense clusters of trees burst with warm red, burnt orange, and golden yellow foliage, balanced above by a soft, light blue sky streaked with pale clouds. Across the lower ground, earthy greens, deep browns, and russet tones ground the composition with visual depth. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers an artistic focal point that brings warmth and movement to any room.

In the room

We see this design working especially well on an uninterrupted main wall in a living room, dining space, or bedroom. Because the composition features an expansive landscape format with rich, varied brushwork across the lower two-thirds, giving it a broader wall lets the horizontal horizon and tree clusters unfold naturally without feeling crowded.

In a home library or reading room, the deeper earthy ground tones and warm canopy create an enveloping, quiet atmosphere around low bookshelves or comfortable seating. If you have generous daylight from large windows, the subtle contrast between the crisp, cool sky and the fiery foliage becomes particularly distinct, while under warmer evening lighting the entire composition takes on a richer, cozier glow.

Styling it

When styling a room around this wall mural, we suggest letting the dynamic brushwork and vibrant autumnal palette lead the space while keeping surrounding elements grounded.

• Pair with warm, natural wood finishes such as mid-tone oak, walnut, or teak to echo the earthy ground tones and tree trunks without competing with the painted detail.
• Choose understated upholstery and soft furnishings in muted neutral weaves, calm off-whites, or deep mossy greens to let the wallpaper remain the main visual focus.
• Incorporate simple lighting and clean-lined furniture silhouettes from mid-century modern or contemporary heritage styles to balance the painterly, expressive character of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The design itself is anchored by a rich mix of burnt orange, fiery red, and golden yellow, set against an earthy base of forest greens, deep browns, and a contrasting wash of pale, atmospheric blue.

To create a balanced interior, we recommend painting adjacent walls in a soft, chalky off-white or a very pale, muted warm grey that mirrors the cloud tones in the sky. If you prefer a moodier, more cocooning setting, pulling out the deep olive greens or soft charcoal browns for woodwork, trims, or large cabinetry creates a seamless connection to the lower landscape without overwhelming the room.
